Well, my understanding (from a radio newsreport) is that the human pheromone
research that has been conducted has indicated that humans are INSENSITIVE
to these chemicals.  Of course, they only checked to see if males are
attracted to female pheromones (and vice versa)...  Talk about an un-
balanced design!  :)

Anyway, if there is really a general interest in the subject, send me
e-mail and I can do a computer search of the relevant literature and
come up with what is currently known.
